    Albert thought after he had rested from his long trip he would feel better but instead he grew worse. He got so that he would try to work half a day and go to bed the other half. And on 3 January 1848 he suddenly left us which was a hard blow for we thought that he was getting better . . . .a better man never lived; he was kind, good-natured, free hearted and industrious. He won many friends and was a genius at going anything he saw someone else do. He was born in the state of New York, 31 March 1809, in Jefferson County, and was the son of Asael Miner and Sylvia Monson.
